Benzimra Winning Again

Admittedly it's Day 1, but Christophe Benzimra looks in a good position to take a shot at back-to-back EPT titles after knocking out an opponent just before the break.

With an awful lot of action before the flop which remains hazy owing to only catching up with the hand on the turn, the board read {K-?}

{K-?}

{Q-?}

{J-?}

{5-?}

when we witnessed Benzimra bet 20,000. His opponent shoved, Benzimra called, and they were on their backs.

Mr. Opponent: {A-?}

{A-?}

{A-?}

for an overpair and straight draw
Benzimra: {K-?}

{K-?}

{K-?}

for top set

River: {J-?}

{J-?}

for a Benzimra full house.

Now up to 78,000, Benzimra seems to be our breaktime chip leader.
